We don't like immigration agents - the ones' that aren't authorized by ICCRC and qualified to help you with your application in exchange for money - first of all, it's not legal to do that, and second of all, it's so easy that you don't really need paid help! We are a young couple who started their Canadian Immigration journey in 2018 and moved to Canada 3 days before the pandemic hit in March 2020. Over the course of our application, we have seen so many people getting screwed over by greedy / fraudulent and unauthorized immigration consultants who promise you the world in exchange for thousands of dollars and deliver a whole lot of NOTHING; to an extent that in many cases, the applications get rejected, due to their negligence.
Therefore, we are taking matters in our own hands. After months of research and our own experience of applying for a Canadian PR, we came up with an e-book series & this KZbin channel which would include - errors to avoid, perfect sample documents (my own) and alternate ways of immigrating to Canada - 100 pages of absolute goldmine between these 3 e-books - no filters, no premium versions to these ebooks... everything is out there FOR FREE, for you to read and execute the process yourself! All we are doing in these ebooks is sharing our experience of applying for PR ourselves / structuring and pointing you in the right direction via various different resources that are available on IRCC's official website. The KZbin channel will compliment the e-book and add some personality and entertainment to the entire process :-)
Volume 1: Step by step express entry process from know nothing about immigration all the way to getting an invitation to apply (ECA, IELTS etc). Download here - www.potatotalkies.com/
Volume 2: Post ITA express entry process - documentation, samples, POF, Proof of work, medical, biometrics all the way to getting a stamped passport ;-) Download here - www.potatotalkies.com/
Volume 3: Alternate ways of moving to canada | Provincial Nominee program - OINP, AINP, MPNP, NSNP, SINP, RNIP and more. Download here - www.potatotalkies.com/
Save your money, and if you find these e-books useful, do not forget to buy us a coffee when you reach Canada :-)

Hi Potato Couple !! Thank you so much for your dedication in helping new immigrants and sharing this video :) I'm planning to immigrate to Canada and I was just curious to know more about IT job opportunities. I know this is to much to ask but would it be possible for you to throw some light on the job opportunities in networking, security, cloud computing, dev ops etc in Canada. This would be of great help for a lot of immigrants who are not from a hard core programming background but into other sectors within IT.

[@The600Explain]

Your videos have value to spend time

[@SRK839]

Very informative video. It will be great if you can start series of such videos by interacting with industry-specific people. For example, interaction with an Immigrant who is currently working in the Canadian Digital Marketing field.

Hi Navjot & Simran, you guys are absolutely amazing! I am planning on immigrating to Canada too.. Your inputs are a go to reference to me when I get stuck, Thanks & Kudos for it! I work in the environment sector (or broadly into sustainability) can you add that sector into your upcoming interview, since it is not being discussed on any of the forums, its a bit challenging to understand the job market out there for the same. Thanks in Advance :)

[@nerissa5857]

This was a good video. You might want to do one on the employment laws especially those who work in the manufacturing industry, mostly in regards to Health and safety. I know for a fact that immigrants biggest fear is losing their job especially if they don't know the employment laws.

[@VivekVivek-wi3bg]

Very nice 👍

[@imranahmadkhan1746]

This was a great session . Thank you very much for this. My question will be if Doing an in-demand course / degree after getting a Canadian PR is a good idea ? like say.. Data Science / Business analytics on top of an extensive IT experience .

[@Surrey_Talkies]

Appreciate it Potato Couple 🙏👏

[@lalitakeswani1257]

Thanks Navjot for another helpful video. Really appreciate the efforts. Thanks to Alisha as well for the experience inputs. Would it be possible to connect with her? Definitely not looking to bother her for the job opportunities but majorly to understand the opportunities in HR field and guidance on suitable certifications. Hopefully you would remember me- one waiting with expired COPR and whilst awaiting new approval, really trying to connect with industry experts to understand the market requirement and upgrade myself. Thank you in advance and take care. Stay safe.

[@dilpreetsinghpahuja2229]

Hi Sir, Thanks for the informative video. Please help to address my query - what if someone starts studying online from India and continues to work with an employer during the course. In this case, if the same person applies for PR later on on the basis of foreign work experience, could the end date in experience letter of the job in India be a problem?

[@nayanroy13]

I have a COPR and have started looking for jobs. For someone who is not in Canada, should that person mention their current address (non-Canadian) in the resume? What do you suggest?

[@hirenpatel4278]

Good evening, I have 13 years of office administration experience in MNC company, so kindly let me know they would hire me. I have all the Administrative experiences like facility management, security, canteen, transport and accommodation, procurement and budgeting. Just let me know in Canada any possibility. Second option, do I have first diploma in Administrative in Canada then only get opportunity in such fields.

[@ankushchoudhary1775]

Does a job title and education has to be same as NOC? Like one of my friend is working as a graphic designer and she has done bachelor's in computer science but i have read somewhere that for graphic designer someone must has to be graduate in arts/graphic designing field. Please help

The Hmms & Rights have reduced a lot in your interview videos ! There's this very famous Indian podcast called The seen and the unseen by Amit Varma. I remember in his early episodes he used chime in a lot of Hmms along with the guest. Which was especially irritating cuz it's a podcast ! But he stopped doing that and the podcast quality sky rocketed.
